Man with incurable illness: 'I'm not frightened of dying'
How comfortable are you talking about death? A poll carried about by the Dying Matters coalition of care providers suggests only a fifth of us actively discuss our dying wishes with our loved ones.
Husband and wife Brian and Jean Sleap told Shelagh Fogarty that since Brian was diagnosed with an incurable lung condition, he and Jean speak openly about dealing with the inevitable.
They'll be renewing their wedding vows this summer, and they say that talking and making plans has made things easier to bear.
